10 minutes before 9 is 8:50. since any time on the hour is at a perfect 60 minutes, you subtract the minutes given and move 1 hour back to find your answer.
for example, if you were asked what 20 minutes before 10 was. you start by subtracting 20 from 60. 60-20= 40, this being your minutes. 10-1 is 9, this being your hour, making the final answer 9:40.

To figure this out, you need to understand that there are 60 minutes in an hour

Subtract 10 from this value:

60 - 50

As it isn't 60 minutes, it wouldn't be 9 anymore

9-1 = 8

The correct answer would be: 8:50

Hope This Helps You!

Good Luck (:

Have A Great Day ^-^
